LEGISLATION
It is an offence to use a motor vehicle that
displays any plate or item which could be mistaken
for an authorised registration plate, i.e. novelty
stickers or plastic plates.
Police and local authorities can (and do) fine
people for not having the correct original plate on
a vehicle, eg. using stick on plates. The law does
not allow decal or 'stick on' registration plates.
Vehicles are only permitted to display official
plates as prescribed in Section 14 of the Transport
(Vehicle and Driver Registration and Licensing) Act
1986 and Section 2(2) of the Transport (Vehicle
Registration and Licensing) Notice 1995. For your
information, we have provided the legislation on
Registration Plates:
